Chapter 170 Eating Meat(1/2)

He ran out of the city for more than ten miles. There were also a small group of bandits outside the city, each with five or six people. It should be the scout team released by the bandits in the city. Li Bochen encountered two ungrateful groups who came to stop him, and he cleaned up all of them.

When he saw no one again, the road was also turned into large fields and jungle, he slowed down his horse's speed. The white horse was extremely physically strong, but after all, he carried two people, and then he was sweating all over and gasping harder.

Li Bochen inserted the magic knife back on his back and breathed a sigh of relief - he was not a person who liked to kill, but his fierce battle just now did make him feel strong and full of energy and energy, and he would not feel sleepy even if he had not slept all night.

At this moment, his tense spirit relaxed, and suddenly realized that Lin Qiao, who was held in front of him, seemed to have not made any sound. He was immediately startled and asked, "Miss Lin, are you okay?"

Lin Qiao didn't say anything.

He felt a stern in his heart, and rushed to look at her carefully - he saw that her face was pale, her lips were slightly opened, and she fainted in his arms.

Li Bochen called out something wrong, and hurriedly reached into the cloak to find her pulse, and accidentally touched her chest. Lin Qiao's clothes were very light and then she touched a warm and fragrant soft jade. If she said that her body was made of copper and iron, her body was really pinched with glutinous rice balls. But at this time, she had no intention of thinking about anything else, touching her arm all the way and putting on the pulse door.

——It should be nothing big, it’s just a fainting. Maybe it’s caused by shock, coldness, fatigue, and injury.

He felt a little guilty in his heart, thinking, I was so fucking confused.

After rushing for a while, he was only concerned about his own pleasure, and was afraid of being surrounded by bandits, so he ignored Lin Qiao's ability to bear it. In fact, he knew that he was not such a careless person. When he was the ten generals leading troops in Wuliang City, he could take good care of his subordinates.

But after all, I have never been with women for so many years and have been in contact with them. For a moment, I was thinking about what would happen to the rough men. In addition, I am now in the Qi-nourishing realm and my physical condition is very different from that of ordinary people. Many details that should be thought of when I am an ordinary person are now thrown away.

He hurriedly looked around and didn't see any houses. Although the sun was rising, it was still very cold. He knew that this was not a solution, so he had to find a place to shelter from the wind as soon as possible. He held the cloak and Lin Qiao with one hand, and rode his horse forward slowly.

After walking two or three miles apart, he saw a stream ahead from afar. He got off the avenue and walked along the stream, passed through a forest, and saw a small village in the north. He was delighted and quickly passed by. But when he was close, he saw clearly that the village seemed to have been abandoned. It must have been caused by the war more than ten years ago.

There were more than a dozen houses in the village, most of which had collapsed and were overgrown with weeds. But this was better than the wilderness - at least the place was declining, so the nearby bandits would not come.

He rode his horse into the village, found a building that was only half collapsed, carefully turned over and dismounted, and carried Lin Qiao down again.

He kicked open the wooden door and walked in, and entered the still intact east house. There was only one earthen kang in the east house, and a layer of dust accumulated on the kang. Fortunately, the buckle was big enough, so he wrapped Lin Qiao on it.

The windows of the broken house were long gone, and the wind blew in. Li Bochen walked to the outside and searched, only to find a broken sea bowl with a gap and a rotten earthenware pot. He turned them out of the mud and looked at the stove again - there was no pot, and it collapsed.

He walked out with the clay pot and bowl in his arms, tied the horse and asked it to eat the weeds at the gate of the yard by himself. Then he went to the house that had collapsed across the street, unloaded a half-decayed door panel of his house, and took it back to block the window.

Then he stood in the yard and thought for a while, and whispered in his heart: "Come out!"

The Yin soldiers appeared. The twenty Yin soldiers, except for Xu Cheng, were all in a daze. He ordered Xu Cheng to lead them to guard the courtyard. If there was any movement, he would immediately report it to himself.

Then, holding the bowl and clay pot, he walked to the stream behind the village. He first washed them all, then brought them back to the yard, picked up stones and built a stove, put them on and cooked them.

After doing all this, he went into the house and looked at Lin Qiao, and found her forehead slightly hot. He remembered that she rolled down from the third floor last night and her face was also scratched. I don’t know if it was a cold or cold that caused the internal organs to cause inflammation.

He tried to call her, but before he woke up, he pulled her out of the cloak with one hand and pinched her pulse and conducted a qi and blood investigation.

There seems to be no blockage in the meridians, which should be internal injuries. But I found that Lin Qiao's meridians in her body are wider than ordinary people, and even have spiritual power flowing. He was stunned for a moment, thinking that she is still a practitioner?

Her cultivation level should not be high, and she looks like she is about to enter the spiritual enlightenment realm. Such a practitioner looks no different from an ordinary person, and she is only slightly stronger in physique.

Li Bochen frowned and sat by the kang for a while. He said that if she really understands cultivation, it should be nothing bad. With her identity and life experience, she should be very unwilling to do so. Trying to practice is also one of the ways to change her destiny. Just when she wakes up, she still has to ask questions.

He got up and walked into the yard to look around. There was a stretch of hill to the west of the village. The forest was very dense. You could see birds flying like black spots on the mountain, so you raised your feet to walk up the mountain.

After going up the mountain, he used Yaohou to cut a knife on his left hand and blood immediately flowed out. He rubbed the blood on the trunk of the tree while walking. When he reached the top of the mountain, he found a grass nest to sit down, picked up some stones and held it in his hand.

Only then could he finally take a break. The wind roared in the forest, the dead leaves fell, and the cool air slowly penetrated through the cracks of the armor, feeling his body cooled up. He sat and waited for a while, then looked at the small village at the foot of the mountain from the forest, and suddenly realized that he didn't seem to know what to do with Lin Qiao.

I took her away to save her life, but what about the future? I had to check the matters of the Chang family and face another enemy. As if something happened a few more times today, Lin Qiao would not be able to stand it.

But before he could figure it out, he heard the rustling sound from the weeds in the forest. He sat in the lower air outlet and smelled a fishy smell. But he waited for a while before suddenly lifting his right hand and a stone flew out.

There was a thunderous sound, and then something fell down. He stood up and walked over and found that it was a lonely wolf with a vague face, and his head was half blown away by the stones he had hit.

This was pretty good. He was a little happy - wolf meat was more delicate than bear meat, tiger meat and so on, and the fishy smell was not that heavy, which was similar to dog meat. So he cut one of his hind legs with a knife, walked down the mountain to the stream and peeled it and washed it.

When I returned to the yard, the water in half of the clay pot had already started, so I pulled out a few pieces of firewood to warm it up, and then set up a pile of fire on the outer room, cut a few skewers, took some pepper and ginger powder from the horse's backpack, spread the coarse salt, and put it on the fire and baked it slowly.

The room was quiet, with only the crackling sound of firewood burning. A few meats slowly turned yellow, emitting fragrance, and the fat dripped off. He cut a few more holes with Yaohou and applied pepper, ginger powder and salt again. When he saw that the meat strips were a little browned, he inserted them to the fire to warm them.

Then he poured hot water into the sea bowl and walked into the inner room.

Before Lin Qiao woke up, he knew that this was not a solution. So he put the bowl on the kang, patted her face gently with his hands, and called out, "Miss Lin?"

After calling out a few times, Lin Qiao frowned and muttered something, coughed a few more times, and opened her eyes.

When Li Bochen saw her open her eyes, he was confused for a while, as if he had forgotten what had happened. Her eyes looked big, and her lips and face were pale at this moment. He looked like a kitten and felt a little distressed.

Then he blinked, sat up all of a sudden, and said, "Brother Li-—"

Li Bochen hurriedly picked up the cloak and put it on her, stood up and said, "Miss Lin, I'm really sorry. I didn't expect you to be so weak last night. How do you feel now?"

Lin Qiao wrapped her cloak and showed her pale face. She looked around and said softly: "It's okay, I'm just... Brother Li, where is this?"

Li Bochen handed her the water: "Lisanguan City is more than ten miles away. Have peace of mind, they can't find this place. Do you drink some water to warm up - are you hungry?"

Lin Qiao poked out her hand to take the bowl, and found it was hot, so she was stunned. She lowered her head and took a sip, raised her face and nodded. Li Bochen was also stunned for a while before realizing that she was saying she was hungry, so she hurried to the outside room to pull out a piece of meat.

The meat was roasted very hot, and he shook it a few times when he walked into the house. He waited a little cold before handing it to her.

Lin Qiao put down the bowl and took it, staring at the meat strip for a while. Li Bochen thought that she was usually rich and well-behaved and shouldn't be used to these things, so she smiled: "The wolf meat I just beat. I didn't have time to prepare dry food last night, so this one is the only one. You can eat a little bit, and it's very exhausting to have a fever."

Lin Qiao then said softly: "Brother Li, are you all... you made it just now?"

Li Bochen smiled and said, "It's a good thing."

Lin Qiao said: "What about you?"

"Oh, there are some outside." He felt that his belly was also hungry, so he walked out and pulled two more in and said, "Let's fill your stomach first, and wait until you rest, and then talk about what's going on in the future."

Lin Qiao nodded.

Li Bochen sat on the other side of the kang, blew it, and bit it down. He used to go to the back mountain to hunt when he was in Wuliang City, and was quite content with his own skills in cooking barbecue. Today, the meat was also very roasted. When he bit the slightly burnt layer of flesh outside, there was a crackling sound, and the aroma of pepper, ginger and meat suddenly filled his mouth.

The wolf meat is thin and tender, not as thick as pig or beef, and the taste is similar to mutton. After a bite, the greed is hooked up, and then he shakes his cheeks and chews it. The two pieces of meat are about half a pound, and it takes a short while to finish it, and both hands are oily.

He looked at Lin Qiao again, and saw her staring at him in a daze, and then tore the meat open and eat it in small mouthfuls.

After looking at each other for a moment, Lin Qiao burst into laughter. Li Bochen laughed and said, "Don't laugh at me for being indecent. I was not like this before. But after staying in the army for a long time, I ate it in a big pot and ate it slowly, and I have not changed it yet."

Lin Qiao pursed her lips and said, "Brother Li is a heroic spirit."

Li Bochen smiled again, but he didn't know what to say for a moment, so he just said, "Where, where."

The cut of the left palm had now healed, so he grabbed a handful of dust on the kang, rubbed the oil on his hands slowly, and could still listen to the "click" sound of Lin Qiao eating meat. The room calmed down again, and he sat there without knowing what to say - in fact, he was not a person who was not good at speaking. It was just that the two of them had their origins and their living environment was too different, so there seemed to be nothing to talk about.

After sitting for a while, I slowly felt a layer of sweat coming from behind. I glanced at Lin Qiao. Seeing her sitting in a cloak wrapped around the wall, I ate with relish. I don’t know if she was really hungry or her skills were indeed good.

He thought about it and then thought, and finally spoke, "Miss Lin, what are your plans in the future?"

Lin Qiao lowered her head and was silent for a moment, and said, "I don't know either."

"What about the past? Have you ever thought about what to do in the past?"

"I used to think that in the future I will redeem myself and find a quiet and beautiful place to buy a small village."

"Xiao Zhuangzi?"

"Well... a small farm, hundreds of acres of land. I will rent some leisure time on the land."

Li Bochen was stunned for a moment, and calculated in his heart how much this "little village" would cost. The land prices in different countries are different, so Li's country's should be the cheapest one. But once I heard from my companions in the army that even if it is the cheapest one, one acre of land would cost about two thousand yuan. Hundreds of acres of land... If it is five hundred acres of land...

Get one million yuan.

Adding a "Xiaozhuangzi" is probably not about 1.5 million yuan. This is not considered the money for hiring servants.

He suddenly realized that he had overlooked something.

He didn't know much about the women in the world, but he heard many similar stories from where he came from. For example, a brothel girl fell in love with a poor scholar and voluntarily redeems her home and lived a happy life with him. Even if she was a concubine, she was willing to be a concubine. There was also a certain top card looking for it, just to find someone who could entrust her life to escape from the sea of ​​suffering.

He remembered these things and naturally thought that the joyful place of Jinghuilou would be like a purgatory of fire. She would certainly be happy to take Lin Qiao away by herself.

But at this moment, looking at the low earthen house, the ground was filled with ashes, and after listening to her original plan, she woke up. She brought her out, how could she settle her? Could it be that she found a place to stuff her into a peasant wife? She originally had a family capital of one million and planned to buy a "little village"!

In fact, when I think about it, I still have been living a long time in wandering life and forget what ordinary people think.

He didn't know what to say for a moment, and he didn't care about it. He could only temporarily distract the topic and said, "Miss Lin, have you seen another person besides Ye Lu?"

But as soon as he asked, he regretted it. Lin Qiao suddenly changed a lot last night and is now sick again. She doesn't want to recall those things. She is too impatient.

Then he hurriedly said, "Forget it, don't rush to say this."

Lin Qiao seemed to see what he was thinking, and smiled: "It's okay, Brother Li, your business is important. That person... I have only seen his side face, and he looks like an old man. His voice is a bit weird, as if his throat has been injured."

Li Bochen frowned and thought for a while, but had no clue. He said again: "Well. Miss Lin, do you know where the Chang family is now?"

Lin Qiao shook her head: "I don't know much about this. But - I just heard from people that most of the former ministers and ministers fled to Fengzhou after the country was destroyed. Fengzhou, to the north is Linxi."

Then I still have to continue to go north. Li Bochen sighed in his heart. He originally planned to bite the man tightly. But now he has brought this girl and probably can't act as planned. But that person has been away for a few days in advance. Even if he is alone on the road, what should have happened when he chases him should have happened. Thinking about this, there is no need to hurry.

He patted the dust on his hand, stood up and said, "Do you want me to heat up your meat?"

In fact, I just asked casually - I really didn't know what to say. But unexpectedly, Lin Qiao smiled slightly and handed him half of the torn meat: "Okay."

At this time, she slowly recovered and became generous again. She seemed very happy that she had asked such a question. Li Bochen also felt that the atmosphere was a little more relaxed, so he took the wooden stick.

Lin Qiao looked at him slightly with her face, tightened her cloak again, wrapped herself tightly, and said, "Brother Li, I didn't expect you to be so careful. For the first time in these years, someone has treated me so well."

Li Bochen's face turned slightly red when she said it, but he felt very helpful. He walked out and smiled, "Didn't your two little maids take good care of you too? When I sneaked in last night, I was listening to them talking about your illness, and I was afraid that you would wake up at night and couldn't see anyone."

Lin Qiao said across the wall: "They are them, and it is necessary for my daughter to be careful in her family. But Brother Li, you are a hero, this is called boldness and carefulness. I really didn't expect that you would serve me like this."

Li Bochen was a little fluttered by her praise, and squatted beside the fire and roasted the half of the meat slowly, saying, "It's my fault that I'm implicating you, and it's all right to apologize and serve. Fortunately, your illness is not serious, and you have practiced it, so it's time to get better soon - Miss Lin, are you practicing the mental method of the Beichen lineage?"

He asked this, then turned the meat again, took out some pepper and ginger powder from his waist bag and sprinkled it on. When he saw the white meat inside turned slightly yellow, he realized that Lin Qiao had not replied to him.
To be continued...
